I just tried to build on Linux and it keeps panicking because it requires dozen(s) of API keys. I was not expecting that from local first software.

I'm also interested in learning about why the API keys are required to build.

There are only 2 api keys that is required to build (POSTHOG, SENTRY), and also not required to build in dev, only in release build.

I made it required to prevent accidentally ship app without any analytics/error tracking. (analytics can be opted out)

For ex, https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/blob/327ef376c1091d093c...

EDIT: Prod -> release

You might want to reconsider ”no data ever leaves your machine" from the post :)

Given your target market, have you considered looking at Bugsink?[0] sentry compatible. still not local, but at least you won't have to additionally ask your customers to trust sentry/posthog.

Disclosure: that's me

That is not actually required. You can even set empty key for that.

Also Linux issue pointer: https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/issues/67#issuecomment-...

I get an "EmptyToken" error if I leave keys like AXIOM_TOKEN empty. I'm sure I can remove the requirements in code, but it's just that this wasn't expected from reading the project description.

Anyway, thanks for your work and good luck!
